Do I need to have a working remote to program the new remote?

No you don't as long as your car is set up to have keyless remotes used. The new one doesn't require using the old keyless remotes. It actually deprograms the old ones when the new is set up.

Nope. The last one wasn't working after a battery change. I believe it's even a different code than the last one. The instructions were really simple and understandable

No you don't just follow the instructions carefully maybe you may have to do it twice but the remote works just great

I don't think you need a remote to program. I didn't need the remote to program mine which has the purple button.

Sadly, no. You must have one working remote to "clone" from, otherwise the new remote has nothing to "learn" from. You may have to obtain a remote from a dealership.....sorry.

No, just program the remote as they say in the instructio. And you can also see in you tube how to program the remote.

I have the lift master in question...I followed directions for programing and it has worked beautifully...Unfortunately,I have no idea why your remote does not function..sorry!!

It does come with instructions but it does not show all compatable models so you will have to have some basic troubleshooting skills in order to get it to work. You will also need to know where the main remote starter unit is as you will need to connect the provided programming button. All in all it took me less than 3 minutes to link the remotes to the system.

When I was looking for a remote I just put the name and model number in the search box and it showed me the one that went with the model I have and I ordered it. I took a chance that it would work and it did the first time I tried it. I did not have to program it. Good Luck

You can only program it by pushing the learn button on the back of the opener. You may have to clear all existing codes by holding the learn button for six seconds. You will then reprogram all of the old a new remotes.

Since the unit comes with a new remote why does it matter what the old remote says?

Yes but it takes less than 10 seconds to reprogram it after you program the new one.my remote work perfectly. .

I really don't see a reason why you would want to do that. The new remote is IDENTICAL to the old one. And if you ordered a new remote to replace an old broken one, isn't the old one . . . well, broken? The programming process is very easy. It is in my owner's manual, but I just used the instructions that came with the remote. The only thing you need to remember is that if you have more then one, you need to reprogram all of them, one after the other. Again a very quick and easy process. One suggestion I would make is to, at about the one year point, buy a replacement battery and keep it handy because the battery in your remote won't last forever. Hope this helped.

You will still be able to use your old remotes. In fact you will use one of your old remotes to program the keypad with. Mine came with all the instructions and they were really easy to understand.

No. You remotes will work with the new receiver. Just run the code process with one of the remotes and all others will work.

Yes! We bought 3 units, and all came with remotes, but we programmed them all to work with just one remote. Early in the set-up procedures, you push a button on the unit, and the "on" button on the remote to synch them.

I had no problem programming my keypad and remote. However, I had been made aware of the old versus the new keypad problem previously. Confirm you have the current model. If not, exchange it.

yes it will work with existing remotes if programed according to diriction book, but the genie i purchased would not work with existing or new remotes I,m going to sent the opener unit to genie for repair.
